TYLER POV 38"This is Dasha, I just want to let you know that we are here at the hospital. We rushed Veirn to the hospital" I was confused by what I heard and I stood up. "Why? What happened? What hospital?" I asked confused."Veirn has Acute Dengue and he needs a blood transfusion, Tyler. We're here at St. John's hospital,"she replied."All right,Aunt, I'm going there," I said.I quickly left the office and informed my secretary that I was leaving first. I called Mr. Gonzales to say goodbye and let him know what happened."Mr. Gonzales, I would like to ask for excuses because my son is in the hospital and I need to go to him," I said goodbye to Mr. Gonzales."I'm sorry to hear about that. No problem Mr. Jackson. Just think about your son now. I hope everything will be fine," he replied.This person is really very kind."Thank you, Mr. Gonzales," I thanked him. As I drove down the road to the hospital, I couldn't be bothered to think about my son. I drove my car fast and didn't care i
TYLER POV 39"Ana ?!" I said in disbelief when I saw Ana sitting in front of the door.She immediately stood up and looked at me with a smile. I was shocked when she suddenly hugged me and also a few seconds before I disappeared from her embrace."I miss you,"she said with a smile."Let's go in," I replied and immediately opened the room."You shouldn't have waited here, why didn't you call me?" I asked her."Because your phone is off,"she replied.I immediately took my phone out of my pocket and pressed it. My phone was off, why didn't I even realize it?"I'm sorry, Ana. Have you been here before?" I asked her.She just nodded and smiled so I felt guilty. I made her sit on the sofa and took a glass of water to give her."Here's the water," I offered her."Thank you,"she smiled gratefully.“Is it okay for you to be here first? I'll just take a shower, ”I said goodbye to her."Sure it's okay,"she replied with a smile.I smiled at her and entered the room and went to the bathroom.A few
TYLER POV 40"You're just here," said a familiar voice behind me.I immediately turned around and saw Veronica's beautiful face.She didn't even smile and looked serious."Drey has been looking for you for a while. If he hadn't just asked me to look for you I wouldn't have come here," he told me seriously."Okay, I'll follow," I told her with a smile. But when she turned around and stepped away from me I couldn't help but call her name.She stopped and I immediately approached her.I dared to speak with the beer I drank."If only I could buy your love again, if only I could buy your forgiveness I am ready to gamble all the money I have," I told her emotionally."You know I didn't love you because of money, I loved you because I thought you were true to me. You uttered sweet words that you can't stand and now I don't know how to forgive you,"she replied and I heard she breath deeply and walked away from me.I was left standing and I couldn't stop my tears from falling.I was so angry with
TYLER POV 41I could see my son with Mr. Hamilton while Veronica was smiling and looking at him. I admit that I was hurt more than I could see. I frowned and dared to approach the three of them."Happy birthday, Son" I said smiling and Veronica looked at me seriously.“Can I borrow my child for a moment?” I asked Veronica with a smile."Umm, later,"she replied."Do you hear what you're saying? I'm the father of that girl,not her" I told him emphatically."Tyler!" "I just want to be with my son.Why do you seem to give that man more rights over me ?!"I said, frowning."Actually, I'd rather be a father to Veronica's child," Mr. Hamilton smiled proudly."What did you say ?!" I said angrily.I tried to stop myself from punching this man. "Please don't make a mess. It's your son's birthday today, don't you really have respect ?!" Veronica asked me with glaring eyes."Then respect me as a father of your son. Even if that's all you can give Veronica even if you don't forgive me,"she replied
VERONICA POV 40 "Are you okay?" Jade asked me gently.I smiled at him but I was surprised when he held my hand. Even though I wasn't staring in Tyler's direction I knew he had been looking at us.I no longer objected to Jade holding my hands.Especially when I saw Ana with Tyler while drinking."They're having fun drinking with his woman. Why don't you try to be happy with me?"he asked softly.I just smiled at what he said even though I was not comfortable with him holding my hand.A few moments later, Mr. Gonzales approached me to say goodbye and I smiled at him. I thanked him for coming to my son's birthday."Thank you for coming, Mr. Gonzales," I said smiling."You're always welcome,"he replied smiling.I saw him approach Ana and Tyler to take them home.Tyler was obviously drunk and Ana was still supporting him. I don't know why I was disgusted with what I saw. I took a deep breath to relieve the annoyance I felt at times.I followed them with my gaze until I left the mansion. The man
VERONICA POV 41 "I'm sorry but I prioritize my job more than anything else. If you can't wait I can't do anything," he said seriously. "Tyler, please!" I said disgustedly. "I think you may have forgotten that I have resigned from the company. I have no responsibility there anymore," he replied. "Aren't you indebted to dad? He worked for this company and this is what raised you. Remember that!" I said emphatically. "This is what you want, isn't it? To lose me from the company? Then now you speak like I didn't fight the company before? I did everything before to help you but just because of your fucking anger you didn't listen to me.You don't accept everything of the projects I made and now tell me should I blame myself for that failure?! "he replied emphatically. I couldn't answer what he said and I immediately hung up my phone because I was annoyed. I was annoyed with him but I was more annoyed with myself because whatever I do, I can't stand without him at this time.My father's
TYLER POV 42While sitting in the office chair and working on the laptop, my mind was flying. My mind was confused as to whether I would give in to Veronica after I gave up the company that my father worked for. I just gasped as I thought about it.Suddenly my phone rang and I immediately shoved it in my pocket. I thought it was an unknown number but I immediately answered to identify it."Hello?" I uttered."Tyler, this is Aunt Dasha.I dared to call you to please you, son," she said gently."I know you're not okay,Tyler. I understand you if it's not that easy for you to give in to Veronica. But your father's company depends on it.,"she said."We both know that Veronica can't really run the company alone.She needs you now so please give in to her.Help her just for your son's future, "she added.I sighed at what I heard from Aunt Dasha. Actually I was also thinking about that thing. I was still thinking about my dream for my son then. I want him to follow in my footsteps even though I
TYLER POV 43"He just cheated on me, I think he had something to do with the sudden drop in sales at the company. He even told me that he was very angry with Dad," he replied.“What ?! I told you I had a different feeling about that man at first! ”I said emphatically."You never told me,"her eyes glared."Oh,yeah because I know you won't listen,"I replied.I stopped when I noticed her serious looks at me. We stared at each other for a while at that time."I don't expect that I will get to the point where I am the one who will approach you.Honestly, until now I'm still really angry with you and I won't just lose it. But dad's company depends on it for our son's future.I don't want to regret it in the end. I don't want my father's hard work to come to naught just because I became selfish,"she said seriously.I smiled sparingly at what she said.I was happy because at least somehow she also realized that it was not just about herself. It was not about her anger towards me but about the we
